I decided to forgo a numbered poll.

You’ve probably never thought of yourself as a supporter of slavery, but the online tool Slavery Footprintreveals evidence of forced labor in your closet, your garage, your refrigerator, and every other corner of your life.

I liked the interface and educational information.  Dang, I'm leading?  Embarrassed

I revisited and it turns out I personally have 37.  The excess were my wife's.

The interface of the quiz is so terribly designed I got tired of it after about 3 minutes. Guess I'll just continue living in blissful ignorance.

I could fill it in, but it would get stuck on Q11 and wouldn't give me a result

My slavery footprint is 0 since I have never owned one nor supported such an institution.

The blood is on your hands. I would pay extra for something made by slaves, but that quiz was too irritating for me to complete.

That isn't what you get when you run the thing to it's max is it?  Wait, I'll get back to you. LOL
You have some parameters that you can really max out and still keep going.  I made it up to 116.

I disagree with the general methodology if that is what you mean by that. You can trace your dollars back to anything at all. It's kind of stupid. Much like the entire design of that website which frustrated me and caused me to not get the number they would assign to me.

I just want to know if I can have some of them over to do yard work and house cleaning. LOL

I apparently have 38 slaves. But I've never seen them. Are they invisible? If I own people I want to be able to beat them too, so by denying me that I would hesitate to call them my my slaves. Maybe I'm just borrowing or leasing them. I'm really not comfortable with someone other than me harassing my slaves.
